The click button gets covered by an overlay element after the click. So, we use javascript to get to it after the first click. Here is the working program.
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
u = 'https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Business+&+Finance?type=ln'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\bin\chromedriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get(u)
time.sleep(10)
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)")
for i in range(10):
element =WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME,'btn--primary__label')))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element)
element.click()
time.sleep(5)
print(f'click {i} done')
the first click was done successfully, but the next one return error : Other element would receive the click: <div class="alerts-scroller">...</div>
